Re: FLASH: New cartoon!

Unfortunately if this is intended for the Web, a file that is 452K where

no action takes place before it is 75% loaded is not ready for the

general Web audience. If the general Web is not the desired destination

then optimization is of less importance but should still be done so it

won't drag on slower computers. Many good Web projects are dropped

because they are just too big to draw an audience. Many Flash developers

spend as much or more time in creating or modifying animations to make

them small enough to stream effectively on the Web. It appears that this

could be cut down to 100K or so, but unfortunately this would likely

take as much time and effort to accomplish this as doing the original

design and creation.

Try to put a prelude to the story instead of 'Loading'. Make the prelude

lean and mean (small byte size). And create your own logo before the

lawyers start to call. As everyone has noted, very nice animation and

you have an audience here on the List.
